Description

이차 전지{RECHARGEABEL BATTERY}Secondary Battery {RECHARGEABEL BATTERY}

본 발명은 이차 전지에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 전극군에 전기적으로 연결된 집전판의 구조를 개선한 이차 전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a secondary battery, and more particularly, to a secondary battery having an improved structure of a current collector plate electrically connected to an electrode group.

본 발명은 이차 전지에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 전극군에 전기적으로 연결된 집전판의 구조를 개선한 이차 전지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a secondary battery, and more particularly, to a secondary battery having an improved structure of a current collector plate electrically connected to an electrode group.

이차 전지(rechargeable battery)는 충전이 불가능한 일차 전지와는 달리 충전 및 방전이 가능한 전지이다. 하나의 셀로 이루어진 저용량 이차 전지의 경우, 휴대폰이나 노트북 컴퓨터 및 캠코더와 같이 휴대가 가능한 소형 전자기기에 사용된다. 복수개의 셀이 팩 형태로 연결된 대용량 이차 전지는 하이브리드 전기 자동차 등의 모터 구동용 전원으로 널리 사용되고 있다.A rechargeable battery is a battery that can be charged and discharged unlike a primary battery that is not rechargeable. Low-capacity secondary batteries consisting of one cell are used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers, and camcorders. A large capacity secondary battery in which a plurality of cells are connected in a pack form is widely used as a motor driving power source for a hybrid electric vehicle.

이러한 이차 전지는 여러 가지 형상으로 제조되고 있는 데, 대표적인 형상으로는 원통형, 각형을 들 수 있다.Such secondary batteries are manufactured in various shapes, and typical shapes include cylindrical and rectangular shapes.

그리고 이러한 이차 전지는 대전력을 필요로 하는 전기 자동차 등의 모터 구동에 사용될 수 있도록 직렬로 연결되어 대용량의 이차 전지 모듈을 구성하게 된다.In addition, the secondary battery is connected in series so as to be used for driving a motor of an electric vehicle requiring a large power, thereby forming a large capacity secondary battery module.

이차 전지는 양극과 음극이 세퍼레이터(separator)를 사이에 두고 위치하는 전극군과 전극군이 내장되는 공간을 구비하는 케이스, 케이스를 밀폐하는 캡 조립체를 포함한다.The secondary battery includes a case having an electrode group in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are positioned with a separator interposed therebetween, and a case having a space in which the electrode group is embedded, and a cap assembly sealing the case.

이차 전지가 원통형으로 형성되는 경우, 전극군의 양극 및 음극에는 활물질이 도포되지 않은 무지부가 형성되고, 양극 무지부와 음극 무지부는 서로 다른 방향을 향하도록 배치된다.When the secondary battery is formed in a cylindrical shape, a non-coating portion to which the active material is not coated is formed on the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electrode group, and the positive electrode non-coating portion and the negative electrode non-coating portion are disposed to face in different directions.

음극 무지부에는 음극 집전판이 부착되고, 양극 무지부에는 양극 집전판이 부착되며, 음극 집전판은 케이스와 전기적으로 연결되고, 양극 집전판은 캡 조립체와 전기적으로 연결되어 외부로 전류를 유도하게 된다. 따라서 케이스는 음극 단자 역할을 하고, 캡 조립체에 설치된 캡 플레이트가 양극 단자 역할을 하게 된다. The negative electrode non-coating portion is attached to the negative electrode current collector plate, the positive electrode non-coating portion is attached to the positive electrode current collector plate, the negative electrode current collector plate is electrically connected to the case, the positive electrode current collector plate is electrically connected to the cap assembly to induce a current to the outside. Therefore, the case serves as the negative terminal, and the cap plate installed in the cap assembly serves as the positive terminal.

양극 집전판과 캡 조립체는 도전성 금속으로 이루어진 리드부재에 의하여 전기적으로 연결되는 바, 리드부재와 용접된 상태로 케이스에 끼워진다. 캡 조립체를 끼운 후에는 클램핑을 하여 캡 조립체를 케이스에 고정한다.The positive electrode current collector plate and the cap assembly are electrically connected by a lead member made of a conductive metal, and are fitted to the case while being welded to the lead member. After inserting the cap assembly, clamp the cap assembly to the case.

이와 같이 전극군과 전기적으로 연결된 집전판을 통해서 외부로 전류가 인출되므로 전극군과 집전판이 안정적으로 접촉하는 것은 매우 중요하다.Thus, since the current is drawn out through the current collector plate electrically connected to the electrode group, it is very important that the electrode group and the current collector plate are stably contacted.

또한, 고출력 전지의 경우 집전판을 통해서 대전류가 흐르므로 집전판의 고유저항이 작을수록 전력의 손실을 줄일 수 있다. 따라서 집전판의 두께를 두껍게 형성하는 것이 바람직하나, 집전판의 두께가 두꺼우면, 전극군으로 열이 잘 전달되지 않아 집전판과 전극군이 잘 용접되지 못하는 문제가 발생한다.In addition, in the case of a high output battery, a large current flows through the current collector plate, so that the loss of power can be reduced as the specific resistance of the current collector plate is smaller. Therefore, it is preferable to form the thickness of the current collector plate thickly, but if the thickness of the current collector plate is thick, heat is not transferred to the electrode group well, which causes a problem that the current collector plate and the electrode group cannot be welded well.

또한, 통상적으로 집전판과 전극군은 단순히 면접촉을 한 상태에서 용접되는데, 이러한 구조의 경우 집전판을 측방향으로 지지하는 구조가 없기 때문에 외부 충격이 가해지면 집전판과 전극군 사이의 접촉불량해지는 문제가 발생한다.Further, in general, the current collector plate and the electrode group are welded in a state of simply being in surface contact. In such a structure, there is no structure supporting the current collector plate in the lateral direction, so if an external impact is applied, the contact between the current collector plate and the electrode group is poor. Rejection problem occurs.

이와 같이 집전판과 전극군의 접촉이 불량해지면, 접촉 부위에서 저항이 커져서 이차 전지의 출력이 저하될 뿐만 아니라, 저항으로 인하여 많은 열이 발생하는 문제가 있다.As such, when the contact between the current collector plate and the electrode group is poor, not only the resistance increases at the contact portion, but also the output of the secondary battery decreases, and there is a problem in that a lot of heat is generated due to the resistance.

본 발명은 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 전극군과 안정적으로 결합될 수 있는 집전판을 포함하는 이차 전지를 제공함에 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention to provide a secondary battery comprising a current collector plate that can be stably coupled to the electrode group.

본 발명의 다른 목적은 집전판의 고유저항을 감소시켜 출력이 향상된 이차 전지를 제공함에 있다.Another object of the present invention is to provide a secondary battery having improved output by reducing the resistivity of the current collector plate.

It is sandwiched between the current collector projections of the, and between the current collector projections are sandwiched between the uncoated portion formed in the positive electrode or the negative electrode.

상기 집전편은 판형의 평판부와 상기 평판부에서 돌출된 복수 개의 집전 돌기들을 구비할 수 있으며, 상기 집전 돌기는 상기 평판부에서 상기 전극군을 향하여 경사지게 돌출된 경사부와 상기 경사부에서 상기 평판부와 평행하게 돌출된 연장부, 및 상기 연장부에서 상기 무지부를 향하여 돌출된 삽입부를 포함할 수 있다.The current collector piece may include a plate-shaped flat plate portion and a plurality of current collector protrusions protruding from the flat plate portion, and the current collector protrusion may have an inclined portion protruded obliquely toward the electrode group from the flat plate portion and the flat plate at the inclined portion. It may include an extension protruding in parallel with the portion, and an insertion portion protruding from the extension toward the plain.

상기 삽입부는 쐐기 형상으로 이루어질 수 있으며, 상기 서로 이웃하는 집전 돌기는 상기 연장부가 동일한 평면 상에 위치하도록 설치될 수 있다.The insertion portion may be formed in a wedge shape, and the neighboring current collecting protrusions may be installed such that the extension portions are positioned on the same plane.

상기 집전판은 상기 집전 돌기 사이에 상기 무지부가 끼워진 상태에서 상기 무지부와 용접으로 고정될 수 있으며, 상기 무지부는 상기 연장부와 용접으로 고정될 수 있다. 또한, 상기 집전판은 두 개의 집전편으로 이루어질 수 있다.The current collecting plate may be fixed by welding with the non-coating portion in a state where the non-coating portion is sandwiched between the current collecting protrusions, and the non-coating portion may be fixed with welding with the extension portion. In addition, the current collector plate may be formed of two current collector pieces.

상기한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따르면 집전판에 형성된 집전 돌기가 무지부에 삽입 설치되어 집전판과 무지부가 안정적으로 고정되므로 접촉저항을 최소화할 수 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, the current collector protrusion formed on the current collector plate is inserted into the non-coated portion so that the current collector plate and the non-coated portion can be stably fixed, thereby minimizing contact resistance.

또한, 집전판과 무지부가 동일한 평면에서 용접되므로 집전판의 두께를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 이에 따라 집전판의 고유저항이 감소되므로 이차 전지의 출력이 향상된다.In addition, since the current collector plate and the non-coated portion are welded in the same plane, the thickness of the current collector plate can be increased. Accordingly, the resistivity of the current collector plate is reduced, thereby improving the output of the secondary battery.

도 4 및 도 5에 도시된 바와 같이 집전편(161, 165)은 양극 무지부(112a) 위에 설치되며, 복수 개의 집전 돌기들(163, 167)이 양극 무지부(112a) 속으로 삽입 설치된다. 그리고 두 개의 집전편(161, 165)이 서로 마주하면서 집전 돌기들(163, 167)이 상호 끼워지는데, 이에 따라 집전 돌기들(163, 167)의 연장부들(163b, 167b)이 서로 겹쳐져 동일 평면에서 평행하게 배치된다.As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the current collector pieces 161 and 165 are installed on the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a, and the plurality of current collector protrusions 163 and 167 are inserted into the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a. . The current collector protrusions 163 and 167 are fitted to each other while the two current collector pieces 161 and 165 face each other, so that the extension portions 163b and 167b of the current collector protrusions 163 and 167 overlap each other. Are arranged in parallel.

도 3을 참조하여 전극군(110)에 집전판(160)이 설치되는 과정을 살펴보면 다음과 같다.Referring to FIG. 3, the process of installing the current collector plate 160 on the electrode group 110 is as follows.

최초 하나의 집전편(161)이 양극 무지부(112a) 상에 설치되는데, 이때 집전 돌기(163)가 양극 무지부(112a) 사이를 파고든다. 집전 돌기(163)의 삽입부(163c)는 단부가 쐐기 형상으로 이루어져 양극 무지부(112a) 사이로 용이하게 파고들 수 있다.The first one current collector piece 161 is installed on the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a, at which time the current collector protrusion 163 penetrates between the positive electrode non-coated portions 112a. The insertion portion 163c of the current collecting protrusion 163 has an end portion formed in a wedge shape so that it can be easily penetrated between the positive electrode plain portion 112a.

하나의 집전편(161)이 설치되면, 이와 짝을 이루는 다른 집전편(165)이 양극 무지부(112a) 상에 설치되는데, 이때, 다른 집전편(165)의 집전 돌기들(167)은 이미 설치된 집전편(161)의 집전 돌기들(163)과 엇갈리도록 설치된다. 이때, 다른 집전편(165)의 집전 돌기들(167)이 양극 무지부(112a) 사이를 파고들면서 집전 돌기들(163, 167) 사이로 양극 무지부(112a)가 끼워져 돌출된다.When one current collector piece 161 is installed, another current collector piece 165 paired with this current collector piece 161 is installed on the positive electrode plain portion 112a, and the current collector protrusions 167 of the other current collector piece 165 are already It is installed to cross the current collector protrusions 163 of the current collector piece 161 is installed. At this time, while the current collector protrusions 167 of the other current collector piece 165 penetrate between the positive electrode plain portions 112a, the positive electrode solid portions 112a are inserted between the current collector protrusions 163 and 167 to protrude.

이와 같이 집전 돌기들(163, 167)이 양극 무지부(112a) 사이에 끼워지면, 집전판(160)이 양극 무지부(112a)와 얽혀져 양극 집전판(160)이 전극군(110)에 대하여 유동하는 것을 안정적으로 방지할 수 있다.When the current collector protrusions 163 and 167 are sandwiched between the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a, the current collector plate 160 is entangled with the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a so that the positive electrode current collector plate 160 is connected to the electrode group 110. It can stably prevent the flow.

양극 무지부(112a)가 집전 돌기들(163, 167) 사이에 끼워진 상태에서 집전 돌기들(163, 167)을 가로질러 용접을 실시한다. 이때, 집전판(160) 상에 용접라인(180)이 형성되는데, 용접라인(180)에서 집전판(160)와 양극 무지부(112a)는 동일한 평면 상에 위치하게 된다. 용접은 동일한 평면에서 평행하게 배열된 연장부들(163b, 167b)과 양극 무지부(112a) 사이에서 실시된다.Welding is performed across the current collecting protrusions 163 and 167 while the positive electrode non-coated portion 112a is sandwiched between the current collecting protrusions 163 and 167. In this case, the welding line 180 is formed on the current collector plate 160, and the current collector plate 160 and the positive electrode uncoated portion 112a are positioned on the same plane in the welding line 180. Welding is performed between the extensions 163b and 167b and the anode plain 112a arranged in parallel in the same plane.

본 실시예와 같이 양극 무지부(112a)와 양극 집전판(160)이 동일한 평면에 위치하면, 집전판(160)의 두께를 증가시키더라도 양극 무지부(112a)와 안정적으로 용접될 수 있다. 즉, 종래에는 집전판으로 레이저를 조사하고, 집전판에서 전달된 열로 무지부를 용접하므로 집전판의 두께가 지나치게 두꺼우면 집전판에서 무지부로 열이 잘 전달되지 아니하는 문제가 있었다. 그러나 본 실시예와 같이 양극 무지부(112a)가 집전 돌기들(163, 167) 사이로 돌출되면, 양극 무지부(112a)에 직접 레이저 등으로 열을 가하여 양극 무지부(112a)를 녹일 수 있으므로 집전판(160)의 두께를 두껍게 하여도 안정적으로 용접할 수 있는 이점이 있다.When the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a and the positive electrode current collector plate 160 are positioned on the same plane as in the present exemplary embodiment, the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a may be stably welded to the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a even when the thickness of the current collector plate 160 is increased. That is, in the related art, since the laser is irradiated with the current collector plate and the non-coated portion is welded by the heat transmitted from the current collector plate, if the thickness of the current collector plate is too thick, there is a problem that heat is not transferred from the current collector plate to the non-coated portion well. However, when the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a protrudes between the current collecting protrusions 163 and 167 as in the present embodiment, the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a may be directly heated with a laser or the like to melt the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a. Even if the thickness of the front plate 160 is increased, there is an advantage in that it can be stably welded.

또한, 끼워진 집전 돌기들(163, 167)이 양극 무지부(112a)를 매개로 용접되어 있으므로 집전 돌기들(163, 167)과 양극 무지부(112a)가 일체로 고정되어 집전편들(161, 165)이 외부의 충격에 의하여 유동하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 즉, 일방이 타방에 단순히 끼워진 구조가 아니라 각 부재들이 실타래처럼 얽혀져 있으므로 더욱 안정적을 고정된다.In addition, since the fitted current collecting protrusions 163 and 167 are welded through the positive electrode plain portion 112a, the current collecting protrusions 163 and 167 and the positive electrode non-coating portion 112a are integrally fixed to each other so that the current collecting pieces 161 and 161 may be fixed. 165 may be prevented from flowing by an external impact. In other words, rather than a structure in which one is simply inserted into the other, each member is entangled like a thread and thus more stably fixed.
